Choi Seung-hyun (TOP of BIGBANG) of “Tazza-The High Rollers 2” described how he learned to play hwatu. At the movie showcase held at Konkuk University in Seoul on the 5th, director Kang Hyung-chul and actors Choi Seung-hyun, Shin Se-kyung, Gwak Do-won, Yoo Hae-jin, Lee Ha-nui, Kim In-gwon, Go Su-hee, Oh Jung-sae, and Park Hyo-ju talked about their upcoming movie.
When Choi Seung-hyun, playing the role of Dae-gil who has his uncle Goni’s natural skills and gambler’s streak, was asked when he learned to play hwatu, he answered: “I first learned it while preparing for the movie. I’m going to have ‘God’s hands.’ now” He added, “I got so frustrated while playing hwatu that I couldn’t sleep. I’m a little worried that I learned about hustling first.”
“Tazza 2” is an adaptation of the second part of the comic series “Tazza” by Huh Young-man. Dae-gil, strikingly similar to Goni with his knack for gambling, jumps into the flashy but dangerous world of gambling and puts his fate on the line. It will come to theaters during the Chuseok holiday.
Netizens showed various responses to Choi Seung-hyun’s interview: “Can’t believe he first learned hwatu while making the movie,” “’Tazza 2’ Choi Seung-hyun will probably play as well as a real Tazza,” and “Choi Seung-hyun is the type that must win.”
